General Von Klinkerhoffen has recovered most of his gold from Gruber's tank. René still has four bars, which he melts down and makes into a new weight for the cuckoo clock in the café. Colonel Von Strohm and Lieutenant Gruber offer René a deal - they won't look for the missing gold if René recovers their statue from the general's château. Musicians hired to play at the château are detained so that René and company can take their place and seek out the contents of the statue.
